their hands who have become accustomed
to work will dump nearly as much coal as
the old hands did. On Saturday the Della
ware and Hudson Company dumped all
the cars they could get, and by to-day
other companies will be able to do the
same. The latter say they can put all the
coal into this city the dealers can take care

Talk of General Strike.
New YORK, January 24th-A. Mt was
reported on Friday, but apparently with
out much foundation, that James E. Quinn,
Master Workman of District Assembly 40,
had telegraphed from Philadelphia with
reference to the coal strike, that on Mon
day morning all men in the coal mines and
on the coal wharyes, and Knights of Labor
on railways, would suspend operations.
The rumor could not be traced to re-
sponsible source then. Yesterday, how
ever, conservative Knight of Labor said
that something of that kind was going on,
but he could not tell exactly what.
